What could this be?

Oil out of the exhaust:



The truck sat alot before I bought it. I noticed most of the oil after it had backfired a couple times before I adjusted the timing. Still, there were ome drips when it was idling.

I'm new to engines so what should I check for?

BTW, it's a 400 with a block casting code of D1AE.

Firts of all what did you do to it? did you change your oil, foaming could be caused by a couple of reasons.

\Also if the engine sat down and ran good before, your piston rings could be stuck..
